Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Hypomagnesemia may occur, which will require the administration of magnesium. The patient is less at risk for changes in chloride, glucose, or sodium.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Bipolar disorder type I is characterized by episodes of major depression plus mania and occurs equally in men and women. Schizophrenia results from abnormal brain synapses and includes a wide variety of diseases. Depression is a mood disorder, but does not exhibit periods of mania. Bipolar disorder type II is characterized by episodes of major depression plus hypomanic episodes and occurs more frequently in women.
